Aliexpress Pasak Wheelset Long Term Review | What's Inside Chinese Hubs? 

1:15 , no worries at all since Industry Nine hub's do come off like that as well

Thanks for the video, good content! Think I will go with a DT swiss wheelset for my e-bike project :)

So it’s nothing to do with the number of pawls the wear on the freehub is due to the power of the ebike motor driving through a aluminium freehub and steel cassette. The wear in your video looks like the whole internals of the pawl engagement mechanism is from movement on the axle, there should be no marks on the pawl side. Zitto now do a 6 pawl EMTB specific hub with steel freehub body and stronger axle

Good video! I can see by the ends of the couch this is a cat house for sure also! 😸

You got the cause wrong. The "teeth" you saw on the cassette carrier (around the pawls) is caused by the carrier being pushed into the teeth in the hub body. This is caused by a bad inner bearing on the cassette carrier. These chinese wheels are actually quite okay, but they come with bearings that are really, really bad. Make sure you always replace the bearings in the cassette carrier on a new wheelset like this.

Have very much enjoyed your channel. I bought one of the alley express mountain bikes 29 inch wheels. My son and I are currently building it up. When it came the rear derailer hanger was broken. I will message to get to from China but would like to get on with the build. Have you found a US source that was easier to get. You mentioned Kona in one of your videos but I can’t find it any hints would be grateful. My son really wants to go riding. Thanks again

Very good video! I've ridden a loaner by a friend for a while and it has these wheels, and now I'm kinda glad I'm getting my new bike tomorrow. Edit: forgot to say they squeak like shit tho

Seems like the pawls don’t return to the outside position and therefore did not engage properly with the outside ring. Is the spring of the pawls too weak? Splines are fine. Especially in alu hubs you get this also on a normal mtb (non e-bike)

You should explain if the hub of another brand can be installed on this wheel. 👍

Just pick up higher end stuff for hubs.., even lower cost shimano mt400 hubs are really good

What model your hub sir..nice contain new supporter

Tried ARC brand.. I've been torturing the hub for several months now but surprisingly it can handle a lot of abuse considering the price tag..:)

i defently want a long range distance and uphill climing TEST / Review, that for what i would buy me my bike :)) battery test, components durability etc. Real staff, thanks i am subcriber :)

How did the front wheel hold up?

What do you expect from adding a motor to a bike, seriously. Ebikes?

Your diagnosis is wrong the hub is slipping because the springs are not engageing the pauls simple , alloy freehub bodies are just dumb . Not really any true info in your review sorry i see your trying but not technical minded enough those hub looks like it would be fine if the pauls springs were replaced cleaned up with light grease .

How did you open the freehub?

When riding with something like those motors it better to disable freehubs altogether. But even then some of that chenese alu shit won't survive with powerful controller

That cassette really hasn't done many trail miles at all and it's dead already. High tech component go cheap and you'll get what you deserve.
